A week before school is to start and we still aren't able to get in the building. Finally on August 3 I was able to get in my room. It was one of the hottest days we had this summer.

We get up to the school only to find out there is no electricity which means there is no AC and we can't really do anything in my room still. Here are pictures of what we saw:

I am anxious to see what this year has in store. We have gotten to a pretty good start but I know things can only get better!
